Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Astral Rock Drake babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Astral Rock Drake raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
Breeding the Astral Rock Drake produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between -90°C and -80°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 6 hours and 14 minutes.
After hatching or birth, the baby Astral Rock Drake matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
The Astral Rock Drake's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Astral Rock Drake gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
The Astral Rock Drake, a carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. Classified under the Variant group.
Starting at 6,400 Health, it's extraordinarily tanky. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Astral Rock Drake brings respectable melee power to the table. Its base Stamina of 300 gives it average stamina. It carries 300 base Weight - generous inventory space.
The Astral Rock Drake roams the ARK as a wild, untamable creature. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between -90°C and -80°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.82 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
